Truck Driving
CDL Program

Take the wheel with a career as a truck driver

Delivery and tractor-trailer truck drivers are a key component of our economy, transporting goods and freight from one location to another and facilitating supply lines across the country. These days, with virtual storefronts and online shopping making it easier than ever for consumers to find what they’re looking for, the need for trained, certified truck drivers to move all of these goods is higher than ever. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the heavy and tractor-trailer truck driving field is expected to have over 90,000 new jobs through 2031, and ASC Technical Institute is here to help ready you to take advantage of this growing industry.

Get the hands-on training you need to be able to earn your CDL license and safely operate as a commercial truck driver, either for a company or as an independent contractor. The trucking industry is what keeps our economy going, and you can be a vital part of it. You’ll learn how to drive, maneuver, and maintain trucks and trailers in a wide variety of conditions in order to transport vital goods from city to city across the country or within a localized area as a last-mile driver. During this 8-week course, we prioritize getting you hands-on experience in the driver’s seat, so that when it’s time for you to hit the road, you can do so with confidence and safety. 

What CDL truck drivers do 

At the most basic level, licensed truck drivers keep our economy afloat by transporting goods between locations, whether that’s within a city as a last-mile driver or across the country as a long-haul trucker. Truck drivers can either work as part of a company or as an independent contractor, with responsibilities that include: 

• Handling and securing cargo, including hazardous materials 
• Communicating with dispatchers and maintaining a log of working hours that comply with federal and state regulations 
• Reporting any road incidents or serious mechanical problems 
• Keeping your truck and equipment clean and functioning 
• Filling out necessary paperwork and emergency response information
